Will Bunch@willbunch.bsky.social · last wk.Are we comfortably numb with police violence? The brutal cop killing of Corey Ruiz in Madison, Wisc. sparked local protest but only muted outrage on the national level.

A lot of attention is given to the New Deal and labor unions for our social welfare state. More attention could be given to the Black Freedom Movement, whose work from Reconstruction to now has been pivotal in demanding good government and public goods and services.

Jonathan Cohn @jonathancohn.bsky.social · 2w agoThe "defund the police" cost Democrats countless elections claim always sits awkwardly with the fact that peak "defund" activism was 2020, the year that Democrats won their first federal governing trifecta since 2008.

when you tell us that the people who murdered comity and civility—who are trying to kill and rob and enslave us—are actually your dear friends, you don’t create civility, but despair; we see you don’t actually believe the danger is real, can’t be trusted to fight the battle that needs to be fought.
Back-to-back World Cup games held at 40 and 50-year-old stadiums, one of which was privately built. Remember that the next time a politician tells you they need a new taxpayer-funded stadium to attract world-class mega-events. It's bullshit.

ICE learned that white people are generally fine with them harassing people as long as they are left out of it and don’t have to hear about it every day. Another reminder that white folks aren‘t fighting Trump for a better country. They just want to go back to sleep.
